Historical Documents vary depending on whether the settlement was started before or after 1905. From 1882-1905 the locality would be in the North West Territories, which was divided into three provisional districts: Assiniboia, Saskatchewan, and Athabaska. The 1881, 1891, and 1901 Census are the latest censeii released for this area. Sask Gen Web placename locations are within the North West Territories as of those census years. Saskatchewan's provincial entry into Canada's Confederation was September 1, 1905. Saskatchewan / NWT / Ruperts land evolution maps

To give an idea of when the settlement was established, there is a year stated which is the establishment or re-opening of a Postal Station. If the date is before September 1, 1905, the location was settled in the North West Territories originally.

If a postmaster name matches the placename, it is mentioned for possible follow-up.

Please check for variations of spelling. The placenames are sorted alphabetically. For example check three spellings for Saint: St. Ste. and Saint. Placenames which are spelled St. or Ste. for Saint are located after "Ss", and the alphabetical location for Mac is in a different location from Mc.

Placenames which use the letters é, è, Î, à are listed without accent, and the spelling with the accent is in the "comments section". This is to help enable you to use the "Find" feature, "Control F", and automatically find a place name within a page.
